However, we recognise that the NHS remains under pressure – with high demand on its services caused by the UK’s ageing population and rapidly advancing technology. The government acted in response to these challenges at Budget 2017 and provided £6.3 billion in new funding for the NHS.</p><p> </p><p>The government is clear that it considers it important that everyone has access to suitable insurance at the right price. However, we do not intervene in non-compulsory insurance matters. It is up to individuals to decide whether to take out private health insurance.</p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 22/01/2018 11:09:20 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss

The government is also spending over £50bn per year on benefits to support disabled people and people with health conditions.</p><p> </p><p>In line with the Government’s legal responsibilities and policy commitment to promote fairness, the Treasury and other Government departments fully comply with the Public Sector Equality Duty, including with respect to all publication requirements.</p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 18/01/2018 13:39:05 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss
